Infernal Affairs had a palpable sense of loss and sorrow that carried it beyond its b-movie plot machinations. The Departed could've easily been in a diff league than expertly executed cat-and-mouse games, but all it has going for it is plot+motion+scenery chewing. Again, these aren't bad things, but finding soulfullness in criminality and exploring indentity crises are two of Scorsese's big themes, so I sense a missed opportunity here.

I wanted more JOKES and less Matt Damon.

the aviator is unbearably shitty.
It wasn't great, but it was interesting. I thought it was a riff on Raging Bull - a successful yet unlikable character and his decline. I can't stand DiCaprio but I didn't mind him in it, so that right there is an achievement.

i had to turn the aviator off once it got past one of the big party scenes in teh first hour. dicaprio was also reminding me of a then-recent ex. ugh.
a stupid part of me wants to see music and lyrics

The last scene of TWC will fuck your head for awhile.
I saw Whitehead's The Fall as threatened last night at Anthol and managed not to sleep for more than 10 secs here & there.

hypothesis confirmed: "what's really cool is that it's a different type of post-apocalyptic movie than what's been coming out anymore"

should i see precious or is it gonna be totally oprah
― spite n ease (harbl), Friday, 27 November 2009 22:32 (fourteen years ago) link
i don't know what that is but if it's anything like The Lake House starring Sandra Bullock which i saw the other day then i say YES
― jergins, Friday, 27 November 2009 22:37 (fourteen years ago) link
it is about an obese black teenager who learns to love herself or something like that

i want to do something with myself but there are no good (imo) movies on and it looks depressing so i might like it i dunno

i wanna see precious
― tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 01:44 (fourteen years ago) link
it was alright, not too oprah at all
― spite n ease (harbl), Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:03 (fourteen years ago) link
what was the oprah to tyler perry ratio?
― tehresa, Saturday, 28 November 2009 02:16 (fourteen years ago) link
haha i haven't seen anything else by him but i guess it's like 20-30% oprahit wasn't the best thing ever bc it kind of propped itself up with shock all the time but it was worth watching. sometimes i watch something people say is shocking and feel disappointed and want it to be more shocking so i guess i asked for it. it was pretty shocking imo. but also funny.

i see about 2 movies a year in the theater. this week i've seen two in the theaterfirst, twilight. yep.next i saw a bollywood movie, de dhana dan. i walked out at intermission. too loud, too stupid. imagine a roided-up indian david schwimmer as your main character, slapsticking it with the best of them.
there were some good dance scenes though
